    These chips are spread with both butter and honey before they're dusted generously with dried herbs and baked to a crisp. - Amanda & Merrill

    unsalted butter
    honey
    sea salt
    dried thyme
    dried rosemary
    fleur de sel

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
    2. Cut pita rounds into eighths. Pull those pieces in half so that each piece consists of only one layer of pita. Place each pita piece on the cookie sheet, rough side up.
    3. Spread each piece with butter, then honey, then sprinkle on salt and herbs.
    4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Cool before serving. less

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
